The founding principles of Bed & Breakfast for Sale are experienced innkeepers, consultants and Real Estate Professionals who understand small lodging properties.

It was through our experience as innkeepers and our consulting work with future innkeepers and fellow innkeepers that we first recognized the need for a single source of information pertaining to inn transfer opportunities. That awareness 20 years ago evolved into Bed and Breakfast for Sale, the Internet's most comprehensive resource for information relevant to the acquisition/sales process of small lodging properties. Our mission is to provide both buyers and sellers with the kind of information each can use to make informed purchasing/selling decisions.
